·Has
your paint been smoothly applied? (Make sure your model has no over or
underspray, no orange peal or "boulders" in it).

·Make
sure your paint finish has not been contaminated - (i.e., there are no
thumbprints, dust, cat or dog hair, stains, nor anything else that doesn't
belong in it.)

·Is
the weathering on your model appropriate and properly executed?

3.
Decals

·Are
they correctly applied? (Make sure there is no silvering, bubbles, nor stains
with and on them.)

4.
Accuracy

·In
general, with sci-fi vehicular models, it is often difficult to determine if a
model is actually "accurate." In addition, it's often the case that those
judging these types of models won't know if a built up model of this type is
actually accurate.

·You
should still make sure that there are no obvious flaws on your
model?

5.
Presentation

·Does
your model have a base? How is it displayed?

·The
quality of the base shouldn't be less than the quality of the
model.

·Mirrors
for bases are helpful to show details underneath the
model.

·Use
figures to give a sense of scale.

·It's
helpful to provide a context to put the model in, (i.e., show it in its
environment doing it's thing, if possible).
